Wow, that is really coming together and looks great. I can't even imagine the logistics in pouring the concrete on that slope. - Karen

NICE! It looks like they did a good job.

What are you putting on the outside of the spa?

Thanks for letting us come along for the ride.

Haha! Thanks for the offer but my wife already chose it.

 

[kimkats]

I am sure she did a fine job even without our help LOL

Make sure to take a pic of it for us.

Pool tiles, the small blue ones will be used on the steps and the spillway of the spa.

 

[kimkats]

Your wife has great taste! I love that tile!

Your waterline tile is in the same family as we have. We picked it early but kept looking and looking only to, in the end, land right where we started. It ended up being a tough decision between the same pattern with the black or lighter blue tiles. Hmmmm....similar coping too.



FWIW: Yes, lots of landscaping left to do. We have not really finalized what to do between the raised wall and the fence. Once the pool was done in late August swimming took priority and projects kinda went on the back burner.

Looks good!

Started the pool tile today, the top of the 3 row tile will have a row of blue tile so there isn't a big grout line:

How many people were working? That is a lot of tile work to get done in one day!

What color will your plaster be?

2 people for the tile.

We are doing pebble tech, it will be a light greenish color.

I don't think I would have mixed the two tiles but hey, I could be wrong. will see when its got water.

 

[emil]

Pebble sprayed yesterday. The acid wash will be done today, then start filling her up! The color is Irish Mist from Pebble Tec.

looks great... also good that you have such a big space for the equipment. Most builders like cram everything onto a saltine cracker.
